This isn't just a self-help book. It's the story of real life experiences; of unvarnished lived experience that has been joyful, that has hurt, and of how to cope when things don't go to plan. Join Sharon and Matt on this journey as they navigate their mental health as real people with hopes, dreams, struggles and successes just like you. Walk alongside them as they give insight into how they started to acknowledge the negative thought patterns that can stop you from recognising opportunities that are worth the risk and change your life for the better. In truth, each person's journey will be different, and understanding this is the key to finding your own way. This book will help you to view life from a different, more positive perspective. By acknowledging the experiences and opportunities that you may have once overlooked as pivotal life choices for what they are, you too can see firsthand just how easily things can change and improve for you.

Therapeutic fasting is a good opportunity to take time for yourself and free your body of "burdens" and, as a side effect - desirable for many - lose excess weight. Constant malnutrition, often combined with excessive alcohol or smoking, in the long-term leads to bioaccumulation in the body. The consequence is that you feel listless and incapable, or you can even suffer from mental disorders and later become ill.

With a conscious restriction of nourishment, you give your body the chance to purge, detoxicate, and purify itself.

Fasting not only inspires, but conveys a new sense of agility, rejuvenation, and spiritual well-being.

In this guidebook you will find the most well-known fasts with their (dis-)advantages. You can choose the fast from the various therapeutic fasting methods that corresponds with your individual needs.

Regardless of which type you choose, success will happen. This includes losing weight in a short time, you will be amazed at your spiritual health and the ease with which you carry out your daily tasks.
